53:09 I just felt so much pain in the "I should be worried now right!?". Wish I could have given him a tight hug and say everything is going to be alright! Hope this movie does well for GVM's sake
It's painful to see such a great director going through this... Hope this film works..The problems he is addressing should have been handled by the producer. This is a great example when big studios doesn't exist in Tamil film industry. We need production houses like AVM, Gemini etc..
He has always been one of the producers of the movie, and he is the main producer now. If he was only the director, the movie would have been released long ago.
although i am gvm fan i am not sure he is completely innocent in all this. remember karthick naren! gvm initially produced a film with him naragasooran which is still not released. now karthick naren's other latest film is also not releasing. i am not sure but the stuck naragaasoran may have something to do with that. all i am saying is gvm has to let someone external handle his film finances because atleast so far he's surely not doing a good job of the same!
To see one of the greatest filmmakers struggling like this, we all should watch it twice thrice four times for all the good memories he has given us with cinema. This man defined my entire teenage period.
For the sheer will and patience GVm had, the way he had to take on acting projects to pay off his investor's debts and bring his creation on screen and the way he held onto the project without giving up hope....have to appreciate that! GVM is a very artsy creator. He might not have been financially successfullywith his films but they were all slice-of-life breezy dramas. You have a takeaway from every film.
You believ his shit? U believ a project like dhruvanatchathram wud find it difficult to get investors? It’s jus that this guy messed up and lost interest in the project such that even vikram desnt want to talk abt this movie..it’s gona b a colossal failure
This man is made of iron… he may be at fault, as we are hearing only one side of the story, but he facing all of it and trying to pull it off all by himself is an inspiration!!
Dear GVM, Just wanted to say that, irrespective of success and failure, nobody can change the fact that you're an amazing filmmaker ❤️ And noone is gonna hate this interview fgs
GVM is so raw and honest about his journey getting this movie done. It shows his passion for filmmaking. He makes movie because he loves art of filmmaking and not for money. Hats off to you and wish this movie every success it deserves!
Gautam, I promise that I will be in the theater along with my family. It is personal to me now. ❤❤❤ I hope a lot of people who watch this interview will be feeling the same. I request all of you guys to post a comment and cheer up this man.... Love you GM... From Kerala❤
Just a bad phase for this man!😢 Hang in there GVM. You are one of the crazy directors whom I started loving your film making style from VTV time even though I'm Kannadiga. Just can't forget that movie even today when one talks about the best love stories. Hoping for the best for you and wishes for the movie too.
I don't know how the film would be, but I'll surely watch this movie in theatre just for this man. Because his dedication to release this movie even after this much delay is appreciable. #GVM ❤
We have always trolled this movie because of the delay, but after this interview I completely understand how much pressure and frustration is there behind the scenes even for such an amazing director. GVM has been and is my favorite director in Tamil and I am definitely supporting this film. He is so confident about it. Good luck!
Wish every filmmaker took accountability of their mistakes like he did. Been excited for the film since the teaser released many years ago. Cant wait ❤
@@atwunz it was criticised very badly ...he told that it's his movie and his characters he will project however he wants to... The movie has same storyline as his other cop movies
What a persistent man! serious respect. to be able to take over such a thing, paying off the debtors, cast and crew by acting and directing simultaneously, having so much going on and yet being able to release the movie. I seriously hope this movie is good and does good numbers, Get a good OTT number and come out of all these issues. I want the old gautham menon with that confidence and the one who doesn't cater to the stars. Nevertheless his acting performances are brilliant.
"Those who don't know how to pronounce my movie , decide the fate of it " - A lot of goodness happens inspite of it. It takes immense self - belief to pull through. And I'm sure you have lots of it. But it also pays off if one knows their ways and work around it rather than against it. We are with you Gautham and there are quite a few of us - that's no small feat. We may be small in number compared to the other mighty fan base , but we make it count. You can count on us.
Movies like 'Madhagaja Raja' are sleeping somewhere in the production house, when it's heroes and directors had moved ahead, left the movies to suck somewhere. But this man is fighting more than his capability for one single film, which depicts his thirst for filmmaking. Hats off to you GVM Sir 🙇. Your always an inspiration. 🎉
This is what an interview looks like when two genuinely learned people sit across the table. The last 2 minutes when GVM introspects to his cribbing, that's when our respect for him & his films increases multi-fold.
Going to watch this film in theatres for this man and his hardwork. GVM has entertained us with good films like Kaaka Kaaka , Vetayadu Vilayadu , Vinanay Thandi Varuvaaya , Varnam aayiram etc.. as audiences we shouldn't leave him alone. Dhruvanatchathiram is going to be a blockbuster for Sure !
I dont know Gautham if you ever read this comment or not, but I want to say something. "You didn't cheat anybody or did anything to hurt anyone on purpose. And as you understood the problems on the way, you worked your ass off to make things better. You are a good human being and one of the best Indian film makers and I am so proud of you. I really really hope DN will do wonders both critically and commercially. All the best. Keep your heads high. Love and love only"
This needs to be appreciated and lauded. Not many directors will hold onto a movie for such a long time. It's completely a one man show in terms of bringing in funds to finish the project. Hope everything gets smoother going forward
21:12 I really wish Vijay does Yohan Adhiyayam ondru now with GVM....the kind of budget gvm can get and the visuals he can create both with action and landscape will be truly extraordinary....the action part of Vijay will be explored more...more of a grounded but groundbreaking stunts
It’s always lovely to listen to these two talk! I did feel the trialer to be outdated , but being a GVM fan, I’ll watch it for him in the theaters itself!!! 😊
Grit in the face of adversity! One can tell that GVM is moving mountains to get a release. Didn’t know the acting gigs were to front monies for DNT! Goes to show how much he loves the process of filmmaking despite his many commercials flaws in shaping the production of DNT (if any). I’m going to do my bit and watch this filmmaker’s latest outing regardless. One can’t look away from the fact that he’s one helluva talent who once gave us classics like varanam aayiram, Kakka Kakka, minnale, vettaiyadu vilaiyadu among others. I wish you well GVM! Hope you recover your principles and come out winning at the end of all this. See you at the movies Also: a special shout out to BR for making this a breezy conversation! I was on tenterhooks when the interview started honestly; but they volleyed it well. Kudos
Gvm anna our inside world is loving because of your films. ❤❤❤❤❤ You have courage to stand up against anything comes up your way. You are lighting it up for younger generations. The universe is with you. Stay strong and comeback stronger. Wish you all success sooner. Will play the track annal mele panithuli for your now. LuvGVM & BR
Such a genuine conversation..it's a rare thing to see on RU-vid these days. The director explaining his real pain the creative block..it's shivering to compare his situation to SJ Suriya in Iraivi
What an interview!!!!!! So much realism and so much of pragmatic thinking around challenges of being a director. Loved the interactions with both of them.😍😍😍 You have not cribbed at all. You have explained deeper workings of economics around a film and OTT and how movies get released.
GVM if you are reading this comment, if 80s have maniratnam to teach love. 90s have you A film by Gautham Vasudev Menon gave us huge impact when we get up from the theatre seat. There is no other GVM. No matter how people troll you. Your Kaaka Kaaka is a type of love I manifest to have in my life. You are real, You are beautiful creator, You are a gem to us sir.We luv u soooo muchhhh Gautham Menon.
It is without a doubt the content that drives a movie's box office success. However, GVM's remarks highlight the suffering and commitment he endured to make the movie, which is not something a typical filmmaker would do. hoping for a huge amount of success with the film and receiving recognition for his hard work
It wasn't a cribbing interview. It was an honest one talking about various challenges involved in film making process, especially to get it released. If an established film maker like GVM faces such problems, it only sheds light on challenges. And .. interview between GVM and Baddy is always interesting. Will never get bored!
He had much patience and came out from all struggles he gone through and still being humble and responsible for his product..!! Really appreciate him and wishing all the best for this film to be successful and really pays him well..!!
Baradwaj rangan sir, at 1:00:45 what you said was exactly right, it really does give us hope. And whatever points Gautham sir pointed out was true, it was no cribbing. But i really think the audience should be blamed, for being hypocrites, We lament about the lack of content based movies, but still opt to go these over the top franchise big star action vehicles. I felt that because of this, even directors like Lokesh or nelson have to compromise on their story telling skills. These interviews actually fuels my desire even more to become a filmmaker.
Thats even Ulagnayakan Kamal Hassan sir said bro audience should felt guilty for setting mediocrity as a standard but i think bro but business is damn crucial in film industry otherwise producers and investors dont fund and put money in certain film middle of the road cinema is better content + commercial= boom
It's hard to see Gautham in such state! He in all my conscience delivers the best film always. Some might work & some might not, but if there's anyone who could take a Hollywood film in Kollywood, it's definitely him!! The way he handles his characters & emotions in a classy way, says it all! Gonna watch this definitely for him!
“There are people sitting in #OTTplatforms who can’t even pronounce the name of the movie properly , deciding what kind of movies should come into the platforms for audience. “ - @menongautham ‘s #interview is the real #swag ! Many people utter words where we have to read in between the lines. In this video interview with BR, GVM talks those lines frankly ! Best of GVM interviews !
It's been a very long time since I saw this long interview of someone, I felt like Gautham has spoken his heart out and many of the filmmakers out there.
GVM❤Actually he brought this cinematic universe concept before this LCU .Unfortunately I it didn’t get much released. I think the real quality cinematic universe is here in Dhruvanatchathiram
one of the best Bharadwaj Rangan's interview I have ever seen and,hopefully GVM's problems and woes will fly away with the release of Dhruva Nachathiram
Great respect, GVM Sir, for you. Throughout the interview, I could feel the tears, struggle, and agony you felt in your very face and words, but also the truth, honesty, passion, and resiliency of a great man. It's unfortunate to see you have been going through these hard times in your life. But let me tell you, sir, we are really proud of you for your love for the cinema as an art in its truest form. you are a true motivation for me Sir. All of our best wishes are always with you. If you won't believe pls, read once all the replies from your fans. I wish God all the best days of your life happen very soon. Wish you all the best for #dhruvanatchathiram
I am a PhD student who had good momentum at the beginning publishing great work and bagging internships etc. but then many bad advices, decisions and mostly my complacency led to two terrible years at work where I can't move on from this proposed research that I took over and designed my thesis over. No advisor wants it but I see a path to finish my thesis and I will hold on to it. I could very much relate to where gautham's mind state is at. Thanks for this it's cathartic.
GVM always talks what he really feels genuinly, he dosen't speak by hiding every thing. Really nice to see GVM's Interview, Watch the whole hour. thank you. ❤❤❤❤
i have the same excitement on thiz movie that i had 7 years back when i saw his name GVM in the first poster, bcoz even till now vettayadu vilayadu is such a perfect and new style of movie making
Me and one of my friends started watching VTV around 11PM. As i already watched I slept early. But he didn't sleep until the movie finished. He still praises your work ❤.
Baddie !!! Easily one of the BEST interviews in recent times. Honest. Open. Emotional. Just like a GVM film. Hope this movie does well. ENPT worked for me. So did AYM. NN didn’t really work for me but had its moments. Loved Part 1 of VTK. ( doubt I will like Part 2 of VTK ) To GVM: We understand you GVM. Go get it mate. We got ur back
God!What did I just witnessed🤯.GVM spits out the entire story just like that 😱I don’t think he realized that he revealed.Reveals the characters and the motive too.unexpected from GVM💔
Its very very painful to here from GVM ‘ I feel like looser’ … i am gonna watch this FDFD only for the man who entertained me with KK and VTV, Vaaranam Aayiram
Wonderful interview, it's good to get the perspective of a great director like Gautham Vasudev Menon. And some of us have been patiently waiting for the release of Dhruva Natchathiram and now that the dates are announced we are excited.
While the positive and supportive comments are pouring in for Gautham with lots and lots of empathy, I too am happy to join in to wish him all good luck and welcome the release of Dhuruva Natchathiram as a blessing blockbuster of box office. GVM has set a new trend by being so transparent about the film without worrying to save its thrill. He was very authentic in sharing and decent not to pin point ant other for the delay. Gautham, as you mentioned it is a typical case study for Management Students in making the success story of a business with sheer patience and percevirance. I wish the film making is demarcated clearly between creative directors and business directors to handle their respective roles without any compromise. Gautham's core competence shouldn't be diluted any more.
It's painful to see such good directors facing hard times😢 and 1:00:08 true words baddy..it gives us hope too... U will get through this and kudos to ur patience and perseverance ❤ luv u GVM
Sita Ramam and Sapta saagara are prime examples of good pan Indian films doing well w/o any over the topness... Such films are the perfect way forward for gautham given his expertise and track record...
I found myself as a director after watching vtv. GVM is a unique and classy director. Tamil cinema needs to appreciate his talent more. VTK was another classy direction. All the Best for DN!
I'm very much glad this interview was made in English or even if it was made in Tamil please add subtitles for better understanding of their respective work and other issues. I thank the channel team and especially the director of this interview.
Generally I differ from what GVM presents in his movies and I don't like many of his movies but this interview shook me up a bit. GVM spoke out his heart and the pain he goes thru is like damn he doesn't deserve this. I wish him the best. Waiting for the movie release.
Dear Gowtham, your hard work will surely pay off…. You are a good person. Wishing you a great success and will put you in the map of Indian cinema as a Dhuruvanatchathram . 💐🤝
